About

I want to present groups of photographs to the viewers: not a random selection. The black and white portfolios are representative examples from the three longest and most demanding “assignments” I have undertaken, Indianapolis, Indiana (“Waking Up in Naptown”); San Francisco, California (“Remembering the Alamo Square”); and black and white studies of form, shape, and texture (“American Studies”). As to the color portfolio: I have always believed the primary subject of color photography is color. I call this portfolio “After Painting.”— Interviewed by Danielle Wolfe, April 2010
